1.1 General Description
The Innova 5000 is a multiple tier shaker (see Figure 1 on the following page) that
utilizes an eccentric counterbalanced drive to provide horizontal plane rotary motion
in a 2-inch (51mm) circular orbit. A Proportional/Integral (PI) Microprocessor
controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the speed over a range of 25-
350 RPM.
The shaker may be operated either continuously or in a timed mode via a
programmable timer for shaking periods of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours.
The Innova 5000 is equipped with audible and visible alarms that are activated when
an alarm condition exists, as follows:
• The end of a timed run
• Deviation of shaking speed outside the tolerance limits
• Deviation of temperature outside the tolerance limits
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 5000. Dedicated platforms
are available for a variety of flask sizes. Universal platforms are also available. (See
Section 6 for a list of accessories.)
